Lip Balms
I love my lip balms. I use them constantly throughout the day. Constantly. My lips are always so dry, and I find balms that I buy way too waxy, so I started making my own, easing off of the wax a bit. Now that I've discovered the wonder of coconut oil, I always add some into my balms. It softens the balm, helping it melt at body temperature and helps your lips absorb moisture as well as protect from wind burn.
I've made many different blends, but a few stick out as favorites that I'll likely make again and again. Peppermint on its own is so simply wonderful and invigorating. Sweet Orange & Clove is one of my favorite scent blends, and made for awesome gifties to myself, family and friends. I made an amazing Mint, Hyssop & Melissa blend that will most definitely be a staple around here with my tendency to cold sores. And my latest little lovely lip balm is Angelica, Hyssop & Clove that was born because I'm a big Laini Taylor fan, and in one of her awesome books, Faeries of Dreamdark: Blackbringer, there is a balm made with these ingredients to help a healer repair faerie wings! I knew it had to be a lip balm for me! It smells divine and is wonderfully soothing.
